Welcome

Welcome to the home page of St. Thomas' Church, Werneth, on the Coppice in Oldham - one of many parish churches in Diocese of Manchester and the Church of England.

We work closely with the parish of St. Paul, Oldham.

St. Thomas' has a Bronze Eco Church Award

The Notices

Thanks to Kathy and Graham for their work on the porch: fixing the door, and putting up a lovely new display. And to all who help on the church and church grounds, including Max and John.

One Oldham Grant St. Thomas' has been awarded in principle up to £120,000 for repointing and stonework on the South Side of the Church. We'll have to look elsewhere to fund the TV screens.

Farsi discussion group Thursdays at 10:00 am.

English Class Thursdays at 11:30 am - RESTARTS AFTER EASTER HOLIDAY

Board Games Group The next one is at 10:00 am on Saturday 18 April in St. Paul's Community Room, and then every third Saturday of the month. Bring a game to play, or play some one else's. Play something that you know or something new. Bring your friends or come alone! All ages welcome.

Holiday Activities will take place at St. Paul's the week after Easter. Shades will be running activities around inclusivity and diversity for children who are congregation members Wednesday and Friday 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at St. Paul's. Watch this space for more information.
